Content Abuse Policy

Complaints against Copyrighted Content

We understand that our client may distribute copyrighted, trademarked, or sensitive content – either accidentally or on purpose - without appropriate rights. In that case, if you’re a copyright owner, you can contact us under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 at abuse@usbx.me.

We’ll respond to copyright infringement claims on Ultra.cc and take whatever action we think is appropriate, which may include removing the reported content or termination of accounts of clients who repeatedly infringe or charge often with infringing copyrights.

We follow a straightforward procedure for this circumstance with the following steps:

This will be sent to abuse@usbx.me and will be subject to review by our team.

Ultra.cc reviews the report and passes it to the client to be removed from his slot in 24 hours.

Upon approval, we will notify the client through email and USB’s ticketing system and will be given 24 hours to remove infringing content. If the client does not respond within this period, his service will be suspended and will only be unsuspended when the client contacts us and confirms the removal of said content.

Ultra.cc will contact the Copyright Owner once our client completes the removal of infringing content within two business days. The copyright owner must review the action taken by the client and renew or revise their report.

The client may Send A Counter-Notice

If the client believes that they’ve appropriate rights on the reported content, they can legally dispute the report against the complainant directly but must inform us first with sufficient information. In this legal matter, Ultra.cc won't act as an intermediary.

Termination of Clients with Multiple Infringes

Ultra.cc reserves the right to terminate the client’s service charged or determined to be “Repeat Infringer” or has not removed the reported content after the set period. Ultra.cc reserves the right to define the criteria by which Ultra.cc will determine that a person is a 'repeat infringer.’ A period of 24 hours will be provided before the termination action so the client can backup his data present on their Ultra.cc service.

With this Agreement of Abuse Policy, both Complainant and our Client agree that Ultra.cc is not liable for any legal actions against any client’s content on its services. Ultra.cc acts as a common carrier only, as explained in its Terms of Service.

Incident Response and Security Policy

Despite everyone’s best efforts and audits, security incidents are inevitably part of the business. Your security is important to us, and we are fully committed to its security and that of our clients. We continue to maintain a culture of transparency and truthfulness, which also extends to our approach to reporting security incidents. Ultra.cc will take the following actions:

Close all connections to Ultra.cc servers, WHMCS, or any other accessible place to resolve the incident rapidly. As soon as any Incidents reported or discovered by us, we will publish this on our communication channels at the earliest, including our website, our Twitter page, our subreddit, our community Discord server, and the Incident response page. We will also start emailing the clients affected, but it might take some time for all the emails to be dispatched.

In case you're experiencing issues with your services, please check the status page at status.usbx.me. It’s most likely you will see some maintenance work related to your node. If there is no ongoing maintenance, feel free to open a support ticket to investigate your Issues and guide you accordingly.

Policies

To continue trusting us, we have published a few essential bits of highly important information for you. We want to be as transparent as possible and share all the information that we store and how we store and use them.

Password Policy

How Ultra.cc Stores Passwords

Ultra.cc uses trusted software platforms, allowing you to have the best possible experience. Here, we describe the platforms used to power our services and how each platform manages the passwords stored. Please note that most of the passwords stored on our servers are encrypted and hashed using various secure algorithms.

myUltra (WHMCS)

Ultra.cc uses WHMCS for managing sales, provisioning of slots, email dissemination, service announcements, and payment. It uses industry-leading security standards to encrypt and secure your information stored on our servers. The password stored on our servers is hashed using Bcrypt.

Ultra.cc Control Panel (Django)

Ultra.cc uses Django to power the Ultra.cc Control Panel. It provides a one-stop panel to manage your Ultra.cc slot by managing your applications and passwords. It also gives the user a quick overview of your slot.

UCP Login Password

Your login password, used to access your UCP profile, is hashed using the PBKDF2 algorithm with a SHA256 hash.

UCP App Passwords

Your app passwords, which are the password used to login to your installed applications, are stored in plain text and are only available to the user and the Ultra.cc support team; this is for the Ultra.cc support team to access your installed applications whenever you ask for support. Ultra.cc support staff would not access said installed applications unless the user sends a support ticket, or asks a staff member for it on the community Discord server via Discord Tickets. In such cases, we would encourage you to set a temporary password prior.

Third-Party App Passwords

Certain applications (for instance, Deluge or SickChill) are known to store authentication details and sensitive information in plaintext, including passwords and API keys. This behavior is beyond the control of Ultra.cc, and it is at the user’s sole discretion to decide to trust these applications with this data. If you wish to see the application’s behavior in question change, please report this issue to the project maintainers directly. That said, Ultra.cc slots are locked down so that only you can access your data on your slot and not anyone else’s.

How can you help

You can help us to make Ultra.cc more secure by choosing unique and strong passwords for your accounts. Below are some tips on how to choose a strong password:

Weak Password Policy

Ultra.cc is actively encouraging users to use strong passwords for their accounts. Ultra.cc does not hold any responsibility if the user account gets compromised due to weak passwords or using the same password at multiple websites. It is common for attackers to use brute force or dictionary attacks to compromise your accounts. That’s why we highly recommend using a decent length of passwords with decent complexity. Please use the strong passwords tips we have suggested in the upper paragraph.

Refund Policy

At Ultra.cc, we want to ensure that you are 100% happy with your purchase.

Ultra.cc offers a prorated refund to all new clients within seven days from the purchase of your first slot. You can purchase any of our plans to test it out, and if that does not satisfy your needs, you can cancel your slot and send us a ticket to get your refund.

Eligibility Guidelines

  1. You must be a new client and have purchased your first slot from Ultra.cc.
  2. If you purchase multiple slots from us, you are allowed a one-time refund of one Essential Plan, one Tank plan, and one Bolt NVME plan. These are counted within seven days of purchasing your first slot.

Refund Calculation

All of our refunds are calculated on a prorated basis. This means that you only pay what you’ve used, which is your traffic usage.

Requesting a Refund

After creating a cancellation request, please ensure that you cancel your subscriptions with your card processor. Ultra.cc is not responsible for managing your subscriptions.

  1. To start with the refund process, you must cancel your slot. To do this, please follow our Cancellation Request Guide. Remember to choose cancellation type Immediate for a refund. We’d love to know what went wrong and how to improve, so please provide us your feedback as part of the cancellation request.
  2. Open a Support Ticket to contact us for your refund. Refunds are manually processed by our staff and without a ticket your request for a refund will remain incomplete.

Exceptions for Refund

PayPal Subscriptions and Overpayments

Ultra.cc cannot manage your PayPal subscriptions on your behalf. Your responsibility is to cancel your PayPal subscriptions. Please ensure you do not have unintentional duplicate pre-approved agreements with Ultra.cc and be sure to cancel your subscription(s) should you no longer require services with us.

Our billing system will automatically apply overpayments by default to client credit so you can use them on future invoices.

Refunds on overpayments will be eligible for up to 3 months only.

Our default protocol is to apply this as an invoice extention to your current service.

Chargebacks & PayPal Disputes

When opening a service with us, you agree to contact us first regarding any issues. The use of a PayPal dispute or a chargeback to forcibly revoke funding from us is considered a violation of our Terms of Service.

Any client who commits either of these actions will be blacklisted from the purchasing and usage of our services in the future.

Sensitive Data Removal Policy

What is Sensitive Data?

Sensitive data removal requests are appropriate for

Sending a Sensitive Data Removal Request

Please note you should be logged in to the Ultra.cc Client Area account before making a sensitive data removal request.

Service Level Agreement

The Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) is a policy governing the Terms and usage of Services provided by Ultra.cc and applies individually to you by using our services.

Having in mind the nature of services (shared environment) and the kind of services we offer, server downtime is an inevitable part. With this agreement, we’ll explain how we handle certain situations during your time with us.

The objective of this agreement is to ensure that the proper elements and commitments are in place to provide consistent service to you by us and will serve as an Official Agreement for our Policy on Handling Conflicts and Offering Compensation.

Server Downtimes, Server Maintenance & Compensation

Ultra.cc takes all the requisite steps to ensure that our servers remain online and accessible for each user in any billing cycle.

Any scheduled maintenance of servers will be announced in advance through various communication modes such as e-mails, Ultra.cc Status Page & WHMCS Announcements, with pertinent details. Clients that are affected by this will not be compensated.

Any unannounced/emergency downtimes/maintenance of servers will be announced as such, and users affected will be compensated for it. Below is the basis for compensation:

 Downtime  Service Credit
 Within 6 hours  As per team discretion
 Up to 12 hours  One Day
 Up to 24 hours  Two Days
 Exceeding 48 hours  Credited double the time of the downtime (e.g., if there are three days of downtime, clients will be credited six days as compensation)

Please take note that this does not include any downtime of your apps installed.

Drive Failure and Data Loss

Ultra.cc is a shared app hosting platform; almost all of the setup is devoted to providing the users with the fair allocation of resources and full disk utilization. Unfortunately, there will be inevitable incidents like drive failures.

If drive failure happens on the slot you’re in, and we’re unable to recover your data, you will be eligible for one month of service on us.

With this, we recommend you backup your data that’s on your slot.

Except for the above scenario, removing user data on your end with no system errors detected will not be compensated.

Fair Use of Server Resources

Our services run on shared resources. As a result, it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that their activities do not negatively impact other client’s experiences and are kept within acceptable limitations.

Ultra.cc may stop, without warning, any applications that are negatively affecting other clients. In extreme scenarios where clients are negatively affecting other clients, the client’s slot may be suspended or terminated.

Ultra.cc may stop, without warning, any applications that are negatively affecting other clients and has every right to regain control of the abused resource from users without prior notice.
